P~MX Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 stick in 3/8 & 1/2 and forget about choke changin and concentrate on your shootin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning 425 clay hunter Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 After reading a similar post a few days ago I've changed from 1/4 and 1/2 to 1/2 and full. There's one stand where I go that fires the clay quite far away that I've been struggling with, going tomorrow so hopefully works out ok.

Browning 425 clay hunter Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Not sure really, probably 50 yards or thereabouts. I have hit a few but would like to hit more and after reading a similar post on this subject thought I would try changing, interested to see if there's much difference.

HDAV Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 50 yards is pushing the limit of a shotgun with 7.5 shot placement is key at that range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 50 yards is pushing the limit of a shotgun with 7.5 shot placement is key at that range Surely shot placement is key at any range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Surely shot placement is key at any range? Well yes I thought that's soon as I wrote it but could think of a better way to say it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beretta Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 1/4 choke will break clays at 50 yrds edge on with no problems, most people overchoke for what they actually need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderbird Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 1/4 choke will break clays at 50 yrds edge on with no problems, most people overchoke for what they actually need. Interesting. I tend to agree, x2 when it's someone of little experience. I actually use pretty open chokes and it works for me, seems to suit my style of shooting clays. Had some good scores of late so open chokes are doing no harm at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Five feet six inches I probably wouldnt hit a clay at that range today with my hangover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.I.A Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Stick in 1/4 & 1/2 and never think about it again. You know what they say.... a bad tradesman always blames his tools! Atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 After reading a similar post a few days ago I've changed from 1/4 and 1/2 to 1/2 and full. For someone who's been shooting such a short time I doubt you're doing yourself any favours by changing to tighter chokes so soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
